Journeyman Electrician
Creature • Birmingham, AL • Full-Time • Travel Required
About Creature
Creature is a vertically integrated Design–Manufacture–Construct (DMC) company built to eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional construction. We design, manufacture, and build as one team—leveraging self-perform trades, modular methodologies, and disciplined field execution to deliver projects that are faster, higher quality, and lower cost. We believe our best work happens when it’s self-performed—and our electrical crews are proof of that.
Purpose of the Role
Execute commercial electrical installations at the highest level of craft, speed, and accountability. The Journeyman Electrician owns their scope, protects their site, and drives outcomes that make the next phase possible.
Core Accountability
Own the safe, efficient, and accurate execution of electrical installations across multi-state commercial projects—eliminating waste in labor, materials, and time while delivering work that meets Creature’s quality standard without rework.
Key Accountabilities
Safety
- Maintain full NEC, OSHA, and site-specific compliance every shift—pre-task plans, hazard ID, and Procore safety documentation completed without prompting.
- Proactively identify and escalate unsafe conditions. Never work around them.
- Model safety culture for apprentices and crew members on every project.
Labor, Material & Tool Management Efficiency
- Execute installations with the manpower, materials, and tools required—no more, no less. Flag gaps before they stall the work.
- Manage daily material consumption and tool accountability. Shortages and damage reported same shift.
- Support prefab and modular delivery methods to maximize off-site productivity and reduce on-site complexity.
Accurate Time & Productivity Tracking
- Log time and production quantities daily in Procore—accurate, on time, no catch-up entries.
- Flag variances between planned and actual production before they compound. Give your Foreman facts, not estimates.
Ruthless Elimination of Waste
- Challenge inefficient sequences, poor staging, and unnecessary motion before they consume production hours.
- Reduce rework to zero through precise installation and self-checking before calling for inspection.
- Surface constraints—material holds, coordination gaps, inspection delays—as soon as they appear, not after they cost time.
Traits That Define Success
- Ownership Mentality — You own your scope, your tools, your data, and your performance.
- Compelling Conscientiousness — You install it right the first time, every time.
- Accountability is Reliability — Your crew and Foreman can count on what you say you’ll do.
- Mastery of Communication — You surface problems early, clearly, and with context.
- Accomplishment over Activity — You measure yourself by production output, not hours on site.

Must-Have
- Journeyman Electrician license
- 5 years of field experience with commercial project background
